Magnus Carlsen, the top-ranked chess player in the world, was upset by Gukesh Dommaraju, one of the other top-ranked players in the world, at Norway Chess on Sunday. Dommaraju, who just turned 19-years old on Friday, staged a thrilling comeback after Carlsen blundered and left the door open for his young opponent.
Even more shocking than the upset was the fact that Carlsen punched the table while resigning from the match. Dommaraju put on his best poker face as Carlsen then shook his hand and stood up as if he were about to storm off. Instead, Carlsen returned to the table to pick up a couple pieces he had knocked over while Dommaraju walked around in his own state of shock.
